Oklahoma State head coach Travis Ford was allegedly ejected from his son's high school basketball game last night in Tulsa.

According to several witnesses, a referee overreacted and tossed Ford without reason.

Here is an excerpt about the incident from ESPN:

Travis Ford did not do "anything demonstrative at all," said Evan Fahrbach, a radio play-by-play broadcaster and sports director of KWON am1400, according to the World.
A school official who did not want to be named relayed a similar account to the Tulsa newspaper, saying the official "kind of baited him into it."
"Travis came in to watch his son play, and I felt like he was baited into the whole thing," the school official said. "When all of this took place, I didn't hear one single thing said. The official blows his whistle, points (at Ford) and says, 'You're gone.' And then I saw Travis walk out."
